Healing with Honey, Its Cause, and Its Relation to Diabetes

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This brother, Your Eminence the Shaykh, asks about what has come in the Book regarding healing with honey. He says that Allah, Glorious and Exalted is He, says:
Then eat from all the fruitsثُمَّ كُلِي مِن كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ
[An-Nahl 16:69]
Is the bees eating of the diverse fruits the reason that made it a healing for people, or made its honey a healing for people? This is the first point. The second is: Is it understood from the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, that it is a healing for people, that it is an absolute healing? And how do we reconcile this with what some doctors say about honey not being suitable for a diabetic patient?

Answer:
Yes, honey contains healing without a doubt, for Allah said:
in which there is healing for peopleفِيهِ شِفَاءٌ لِّلنَّاسِ
[An-Nahl 16:69]
There is no doubt in this, nor do we doubt it. Whoever doubts it has doubted the Great Qur'an. Honey contains healing, but not everything is healed by honey, and honey is not suitable for every condition. It contains healing, and this healing is like other medicines; honey is like other medicines. If it matches the illness, it heals by the permission of Allah. If it does not match the illness and does not correspond to it, it does not heal. As for the reason why honey is a healing, it is that the bee eats from all fruits. Yes. Yes. The reason is that the bee eats from all fruits, and the fruits and flowers contain medicine. As they mentioned through experience, locusts also contain healing. This is based on experience, because the locust eats from every tree.
They pass by the trees that contain healing and medicine and eat from them. Similarly, the bees eat from the flowers and suck the nectar from the flowers. Allah placed medicines in these plants and these flowers. Yes.
